On October 19th, there was a light rain in the early morning, the sky was gloomy, Qian Yuan decided to wait, go to Tongxiang will definitely camp for a night, drenched in the autumn rain is only afraid that many soldiers will fall ill, and he is also afraid that once he encounters the Japanese Kou, the bird gun can not be used.

The news collected by scouts and scouts from all over the country has been summarized, Hangzhou City is safe and sound, a small group of Japanese robbers went north to Huzhou Mansion after going around in a circle outside Beixinguan, and the general soldier Liu Yuan was timid, and now the chief in Hangzhou is Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang.

As early as more than 10 years ago, the Haining Guard Station was repeatedly attacked by the Japanese invaders, and almost all the troops were wiped out in this melee, and the women, children, and farmers who could not fight fled west to Chang'an Town and Kipshi Town.

The scouts sent by Lu Bin contacted Jiang Xuan, a guerrilla in Shandong in the city, saying that there were Japanese pirates near Soolin and Wuzhen, and that a large number of Japanese pirates had invaded Huzhou from Xiushui, Wangjiangjing and other places, and more than ten towns had been broken, Deqing County had been broken, and Wukang County was crumbling.

The corner of He Xinyin's eyes swept Qian Yuan, who was frowning and thinking under the eaves, when he had just arrived in Chongde County, Qian Yuan had already judged that the target of the would-be was Huzhou Mansion, and now the facts proved Qian Yuan's eyesight.

"I haven't heard of it." Colonel Songjiang scratched the back of his head, "Birds are all made with fire ropes." ”

Qian Yuan took the bird gun and tried it, the barrel is slender, the metal hook is fixed at the rear end, but it can be rotated, the other end is connected to the fire rope, and the hook is pressed forward into the fire door, and the fire rope can ignite the gunpowder and fire the projectile.

After listening to the explanation, Qian Yuan realized that the so-called bird gun does not refer to a bird that can shoot down in the air, but is named after the way of ignition such as a bird's beak pecking water.

Although Qian Yuan had been in the criminal police team for many years in his previous life and had used a gun a lot, he really didn't know much about guns, and he was still thinking about the revolver arquebus, and now he doesn't know if he has invented it.

In fact, the revolver type of musket has been introduced, but it has not been popularized in the West, because the rate of mute fire is very high and the cost is too expensive.

Qian Yuan doesn't know much about this aspect, but he knows which direction is right, and there are many reasons why China lags behind the West in the development of firearms, but there is no doubt that the West is still fighting each other, so that the Europeans are either forced or take the initiative to develop firearms.

After arquebuses were introduced to East Asia, the first country to use them on a large scale was Japan, why?

Of course, because Japan is currently in the Warring States Period, and the brains are about to be beaten, and when they see the birds, they are like a treasure, and they are copied in large quantities and put into the battlefield.

Maybe the opportunity to cooperate in the future, Qian Yuan pondered in his heart for a while, and then pulled Songjiang Junior High School to ask questions.

Dong Bangzheng has the most bird guns in the southeast, about four or five hundred, which is very difficult to build, and it takes more than a month for a skilled craftsman to make one, and it also uses fine iron, which costs a lot.

"Zhancai is so interested in birds?"

"Killing the Japanese with a sharp weapon." Qian Yuan clapped his hands back, shook his head and said: "Fortunately, it is against Xu Hai, although he has a real widow under his command, he is not good at firearms, and he will face Wang Zhi ...... in the future."

"How?" He Xinyin frowned.

"I'm just afraid of losing more and winning less." Qian Yuan sighed and said, "Nowadays, the bird gun is quite popular in the Wa Kingdom, and it is Wang Zhi who sells the bird gun to the Wa Kingdom. ”

It is really difficult to fight on a large scale and even develop it, and Qian Yuan has no intention of pulling the flag to rebel, and if he wants to affect the development of firearms, he can only knock on the side.

In fact, in history, during the Jiajing period, because of the southeast war, the Ming Dynasty Weapons Bureau and the War Bureau imitated a large number of bird guns, the quality was not bad, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun and other generals used bird guns on a large scale, the former called it the first weapon to kill the Japanese.

But after the rebellion subsided, the bird gun gradually declined, the reason is very simple, there is no threat, there is no power, and the bird gun is difficult to make, the high cost of the characteristics become a disadvantage, and then because of the quality of the bird gun often appear to explode, the border army dare not use it.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a regression in the development of firearms, and the fire door gun gradually replaced the bird gun, and then the Eight Banners, which were good at arching horses......

All kinds of thoughts rolled in Qian Yuan's mind, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the people around him were waiting, too, now is not the time to think about this.

"What else do you want to hear from me?" Qian Yuan spread his hands, "The rain breaks and sets off, but you must not rush in, the main force of the Japanese may be at the border between Huzhou and Jiaxing." ”

"Actually, it's raining ......"

Lu Bin's words were interrupted by Qian Yuan before he finished speaking, "No, if you encounter the main force of the Japanese Bandits, the bird gun will be the key." ”

Everyone present, Yang Wen and Wang Yi are the leaders of the Qian family's guards, Hou Jigao and Lu Bin are guerrilla generals, and He Xinyin represents the governor Hu Zongxian, but only Qian Yuan can call the shots.

When this sentence came out, everyone didn't dare to refute it anymore.

"Young master, a messenger has arrived." Outside, Liang Sheng shouted through the window: "Come from Hangzhou." ”

A moment later, a soldier with water stains all over his body entered the door, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, Yang Wen took it and carefully opened it and handed it to Qian Yuan.

After a quick browsing, Qian Yuan pinched the paper in his hand and was silent, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said softly: "Brother Wei Xi led 800 troops and prepared to go north to aid Tongxiang." ”

"Wu Weixi really has the courage!" He Xinyin praised: "Back then, Wu Weixi led his troops to raid and break the enemy, and there was a great victory in Yangzhou. ”

"The first army goes north, and the other army moves west, and it should be unhindered." Lu Bin showed a rare smile on his face, "As long as you can keep the ...... of Tongxiang"

The latter words were not spoken, but everyone knew what Lu Bin meant, Lu Boring was defeated and disappeared, if Tongxiang was lost, I was afraid that the Lu family would collapse.

Qian Yuan paced back and forth in the room, thinking for a long time, before writing a reply, "Wang Yi, send someone to return with the messenger and hand it over to Brother Wei Xi personally." ”

After saying a few more words about the march, everyone dispersed, and Qian Yuan was the only one who left Lu Bin.

"Remember that night?" Qian Yuan looked at Lu Bin calmly, "That night in Jiading City." ”

Lu Bin swallowed his saliva, that night, he led the cavalry out of the city quietly, flanked the Japanese Kou, fought bravely, and finally killed Xiao Xian, which was the first battle in which he became famous in the army.

"In any case, your father led an army of 4,000 and almost wiped out the whole army, although Ruan Yi is in front, but Jiaxing Mansion is so erosive, your father Lu Ziming will definitely go to prison." Qian Yuan's eyes drooped slightly, "If you can't meet the main force of the Japanese on the way to Tongxiang County, it's fine, if you can meet ......"

Qian Yuan looked up at Lu Bin's eyes, "I don't know if after three years, you still have the courage to lead the army to rush into battle and not be afraid of life and death." ”

Lu Bin's hands were clenched into fists, and he lowered his voice and said, "If you can defeat the main force of the Japanese Invaders, or even kill Xu Hai, maybe my father can escape this catastrophe?" ”

"Not bad." Qian Yuan's expression was indifferent, "But it's more likely that you died in battle......

"That's fine!" Lu Bin slammed the table, "If you die, as long as you can keep Tongxiang, everything in the Lu family will depend on you in the future." ”

After a deep glance at Qian Yuan, who nodded, Lu Bin strode away.

In a family of military generals, it is common for the father to die and the son to go on the expedition, and the brother to die and the younger brother to put on armor, for Lu Bin, the life and death of the individual are far from being compared with the prosperity of the family.

If he successfully entered Tongxiang County, Qian Yuan was confident that he would defend the city, but he was afraid of encountering enemies outside the city, and the small-scale Japanese robbers didn't care, and he was afraid of meeting Xu Hai.

Qian Yuan is not good at commanding battles, but he is good at gathering information and analyzing the situation.

From the current point of view, the biggest purpose of Xu Hai's invasion is to coerce Qingzhuang to go to sea, but there is a difference between escaping with people and escaping with property, and the speed will inevitably slow down, so Xu Hai will definitely do something to cover.

After the victory of Chongde more than two years ago, Xu Hai invaded Huzhou, went north to Changzhou and Suzhou, and then went south from Taihu Lake and returned to Jiaxing to threaten Tongxiang County, causing a great chaos in the official army.

If Xu Hai wants to cover the young man who is being coerced to leave the sea, is there anything more suitable than Tongxiang County?

Qian Yuan knew that he had to keep Tongxiang, but he didn't dare to advance, because he was afraid that Xu Hai's main force would appear in Tongxiang County at any time.

If you can't touch the best, if you do, you don't have the heart to die, but you are afraid that you will not be able to escape this catastrophe, Qian Yuan rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, trying not to think about his mother and Xiaoqi who are still in the sea......
